Daytona Beach to Titusville 96km 99m vertical climb
We were up and out to Denny’s for breakfast by 8 and were the second customers in the place. Normally at that time most people have been and gone but Daytona is very much a tourist town and it seems most people make a later than usual start. We were on the road before ten and it was still fairly quiet. A few kilometres down the road I thought I had found home – Goodall Street - of all places. Our coastal route, A1A, does not continue south without interruption, so on the southern end of Daytona Beach, we crossed the bridge back to the mainland and continued south on US1. After 64km we pulled in to a petrol station for a break and within a few minutes we were overtaken by a very heavy shower. We stayed under the station roof drinking our pint beakers of tea and before long we were joined by a large group of Harley bikers. We enjoyed the opportunity to talk to some of them while waves over torrential rain passed by. It was over an hour before it eased up enough for us all to continue on our way. We still got wet but the great thing about the 30-degree weather here is that the rain is warm. We had trouble finding a motel in Titusville and we had to backtrack a couple of kilometres from the south side of town to find one but we still had time in hand to get the laundry done before dinner. After Taco Bell we went down the road to Jalopey`s for a beer (and now I can make a few people jealous) $2.50 for an imperial pint!!!! |
